Combat sequence

Layered on top of the module's own combat AI, which still picks targets and positioning. The fight below moves through real hit-point-gated phases; every save DC and attack bonus computes from the stat block above at runtime.

I

Twin Tides

Every round, strictly alternating

An arcane bolt one round, a divine curse the next - never together, never out of turn.

II

The Cavern Remembers

Unlocks permanently at 66% hp

A fast healing that never leaves her, the cave itself lending its own patience.

III

Ruin

Once, below 25% hp

Her one granted Epic Spell, spent all at once.

Why these numbers

CR 12 is set against Flooded Cavern's own real ambient ceiling, not auto-computed from level alone - a genuine Wizard 4 / Cleric 4 / Mystic_Thurge 4 build at 12 total levels.

Hit points (68) follow this project's own average-hit-dice convention, and every save/attack bonus derives from the ability scores above at runtime - nothing here is hardcoded past the phase gates themselves.

How it's wired

Boss-flagged (bypasses the drop-rate roll, two loot-generation passes) and gated to a single spawn - only one Mother Ilse Cade is ever up in Flooded Cavern at a time.
